Sweet Baby James (424)

[NPT]

This episode was touching ....... and one of the best battle frontier episodes in My opinion. It was surprising that the mansion used to be James' old get-away home. James catching Mime Jr. was nice, but it's sad when he had to leave the poor Chimecho at the end. This episode was nicely animated and it showed the caring side of James, which is rare.

 

[The Pokemon Broadcast]

These kinds of episodes, one's where we get more back story on one of the TR members, are always entertaining to watch.
They had to play that song and make that one scene even sadder, didn't they? And I mean that in a good way!

Munchlax and Chimecho both falling ill was way too convenient in my view, but I liked the way James's family's old home looked; it was a palace for God's sake. I didn't think they were that rich. I also wondered if the Weepinbell from his childhood flashback was his old one from OS. Anyway, I liked that James got a ton of character development here.

This episode was okay. but i think that James was a bit too nasty to Jessie and Meowth, he's no better than them and altho they did something bad he should have dealt with it in a better way than teaming up with the twerps.
Just annoyed me.

Well James had every right to be nasty. They were trying to steal his family's and closest friends' pokemon. You don't just waltz into your teammate's home and try to make off with the resident pokemon. Plus, Jessie and Meowth have had it coming for a while considering how awful they are to him at times.

Aside from that, the only dub voices i have a problem with are Meowth and Max. i could care less about Max since he'll only be around for one season anyway, and Meowth's is understandable.

Liked the episode, but didn't like james losing his chimecho... I liked it as part of the motto.

I was neutral about Chimecho usually but I did think that him staying behind was sad. I didn't like Mime Jr as his replacement

 

[Musashi~]

It was funny to see James kinda freaked out when he imagined himself married with Jessie.TR focused episodes are always fun to watch and James got good development in this episode.But it was sad to see Chimecho leaving and the music was tear-Jerking. :'( 9.8/10.

 

[Mrs. Oreo]

What a coincidence that James' family owned the mansion here and when he decided to leave his Chimecho behind, I felt sad. Mime Jr was ok as far as comedy goes, but I thought Chimecho should've stayed.

 

[Gillachu]

Good for James leaving his Chimecho behind since it never did anything and was wasting away. Him getting Mime Jr. made me livid, though...

 

[Moonstardust]

Mime Jr. was my favorite DP Pokemon when this episode aired in 2006, but I wish James had gotten him and kept his Chimecho too.

 

[CelebiAS]

I think this might have been one of the best episodes in the show. I love when they humanize TRio and James seems to be the one that usually gets that treatment.
First half wasn't so good tho so just a 9.

For me, this was Advanced Generation's saddest episode. I'm not even a huge Chirean admirer, but I felt that him falling ill and having to stay at Kojiro's family home was a sad fate for him. Manene was delightful however, although I know that many fans weren't keen on him joining the cast since he might've seemed like forced Diamond and Pearl promotion.

[Mega Altaria]

One of the episodes I can remember best from this season. Well it was sad to see Chimecho leave because of an illness as James had a very particular attachment to it but at least I liked the accidental capture of Mime Jr though. And it kinda felt like Holy Matrimony again.

 

[DarkLeviathan]

It was a good thing that James left his Chimecho behind since it never did much. I can't even imagine why he wanted a Chimecho in the first place.

Chimecho was cute at least and was one of the most likable Pokemon on Team Rocket's roster to me. But I do admit that he didn't have much of a purpose, especially since James often didn't even let Chimecho battle.

 

[Alloutℯ]

I have a theory that James only left his Chimecho behind due to forced D/P promo in the form of him catching Mime Jr. So in a way, Mime Jr. was just a way of hyping up Sinnoh a year in advanced.

 

[Leonhart]

And it kinda felt like Holy Matrimony again.

Well it took place at one of Kojirou's family's mansions, so that was to be expected. I wonder why we didn't see his parents, though. Jiiya and Baaya (the mansion's caretakers) just weren't interesting enough on their own, and I remember them more for being Manene's handlers than because of their personalities.

 

[Zamin]

This was a really good episode, I am actually starting to warm to the new voice actors after this episode. Again, it was a really heartwarming episode and it was nice to see James being "good," he is good so can't he just leave his dastardly Team Rocket ways behind? He could even travel with Ash & Co on his path to righteousness, that is something I would like to see.

James made a bad decision when he left Chimecho since he lost such a cute Pokemon. He also lied when he said he'd be back soon.

Kojirou didn't exactly lie, however. He said he'd be back for Chirean, but from what I remember, he didn't give his Chirean an exact time frame for the eventual reunion.
